Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 183: Forcing Me to Turn Evil!!

Watching Weijiang stride away with Lü Qi and the guards, Alex turned his sympathetic gaze toward Zhang Jingwu. He patted Zhang Jingwu on the shoulder and said, "Deputy Chief Zhang, I've always respected your character and shared a mutual understanding with you. I feel very sorry about this situation!

But rest assured, since Gu has committed such despicable acts, I and our resource collection team brothers will definitely stand by your side and uphold justice for you! If Gu refuses to accept the parliament's judgment or if the verdict is unfair, I, Alex, and my brothers are willing to follow Deputy Chief Zhang and fight until the bitter end!"

Alex's face was sincere, his eyes eager, and the aura of a dominator was unmistakable. After experiencing such a blow, Zhang Jingwu's heart was on the verge of collapse. With Alex's words, he felt like Alex was a confidant, someone standing up for him! The sense of despair that had gripped him seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

Already emotionally fragile, Zhang Jingwu, moved by Alex's righteousness and justice, suddenly bowed to Alex, half-kneeling, with tears welling up in his eyes. He choked up and said to Alex, "Alex, I, Zhang Jingwu... have nothing to repay you... If you can help me seek revenge this time, I and the security management team are willing to submit to you. From now on, we will obey your orders!

My life will be yours!"

"Hey, Deputy Chief Zhang! Don't do this!" Alex hurriedly approached, hypocritically offering assistance. He lifted Zhang Jingwu up and said firmly, "Brother Zhang, rest assured. Gu is so despicable, this time, no matter what, I will stand by your side and avenge you! At most, the two of us brothers will face him head-on until we break the net!"

Zhang Jingwu burst into tears, hugging Alex tightly, overwhelmed with gratitude. The soldiers under Zhang Jingwu, under the guidance of the controlled guards led by Alex, were also filled with admiration and gratitude towards him.

...

Meanwhile, in the office of the command center in Guangbeijia, Guangbeijia and Gu were arguing fiercely. "Gu, the evidence is irrefutable. Zhang Jingwu saw you go to his new room with his own eyes! Yesterday, you were the only one absent from the wedding!

The two individuals in the video are also your personal guards! They even had your token, what more can you argue? I never expected you to be this kind of person! I am ashamed of your actions!" Guangbeijia's face turned red, anger filling her eyes. As she spoke, she pounded on the table heavily.

The crystal glass that Gu had given to Guangbeijia was thrown to the ground, shattered into pieces, mirroring the state of Guangbeijia's heart, completely shattered. While Guangbeijia had maintained a superior-subordinate relationship with Gu, there were feelings for him in her heart.

However, Gu had never revealed this, and she had kept her distance. The events of last night had reached Guangbeijia, and upon learning the truth, she nearly fainted. She fell into a state of complete breakdown. It was not just a terrible move on the chessboard; it also shattered Guangbeijia's positive impression of Gu.

"I didn't do it!! Beijia! We've known each other for so long, don't you trust me? Don't you know my character? All these accusations are framing and setting me up! How could I do such a thing?

They don't believe me, but do you also doubt me?" Gu spoke with a mix of sorrow and indignation, his face flushed, his fists clenched tightly, and his entire body trembling.

"Are you still trying to argue with me, Gu? The irrefutable evidence is right in front of you. Do you still want to deceive me? You hypocritical pseudo-gentleman! Then explain to me, where were you last night? I couldn't find you when I was looking for you!

How could your two guards be with Ping Qiyun? And how did your token end up in their hands?"

Gu Beijia was now on the verge of a breakdown, and she couldn't listen to Gu's explanations. After all, she was a woman, and when a woman's temper flared up, there was no room for reason. No matter how Gu earnestly tried to explain, Gu Beijia simply couldn't take it in.

"Beijia, listen to my explanation! Those two betrayed me! My token must have been stolen by them! Last night, I... last night, I was discussing how to deal with Alex together with Manager Shen. He can testify for me!"

Suddenly, Gu thought of a lifeline and turned to look at Shen Xudong, who had been silent all along, hoping that Shen Xudong could testify for him.

However, Shen Xudong just kept his head down and said nothing.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside Guangbeijia's office. Guangbeijia shook her head as if in despair, cast a disappointed glance at the despondent Gu, and walked out with Shen Xudong in tow.

When Guangbeijia entered the council hall, it was already filled with people. Today, all the parliament members and those in power within the refuge base were present. Everyone engaged in hushed conversations, whispering about Gu's despicable actions behind his back.

At this moment, everyone in the room seemed to stand on the moral high ground. Some even began concocting rumors and gossip. The once righteous and great Gu Beijia, under the instigation of some with ulterior motives, instantly transformed into a despicable and sinister villain. Some even boldly stood up, claiming that Gu had once violated their wives.

Gu looked at the crowd whispering around him. The gaze of everyone directed at him was filled with scorn and disgust. Previously, even in the midst of conflict, there was still a sense of awe towards him. But now, almost everyone's eyes held disdain and mockery.

All were here to witness his downfall.

"The defendant, Gu! Do you have anything to say?"

After narrating Gu's actions from the previous night with exaggeration and embellishment, Lu Weijiang slammed the table, pointed at Gu, and sternly questioned him. Gu stood on the defendant's stand, facing the mocking gazes around him. He sneered and closed his eyes.

These people before him were the ones he had risked his life to save. To rescue them, many of his brothers had lost their lives. But now?

No one appreciated him, no one sympathized with him, and no one remembered his kindness.

Instead, they gradually aimed to divide and weaken his team, framing and trapping him, intending to bring him to ruin! At this moment, he saw through it all!

He suddenly remembered the advice from his brothers when he decided to rescue people in the city at all costs. Looking back, their words were so right. However, these old comrades had all died protecting him during the rescue mission. Now, the only people he could trust were the dozen or so members of his personal guard. And...

He thought of Guangbeijia, the woman he had been sacrificing himself to protect. The mere thought of her brought a gleam to his eyes. "Beijia! I don't want to waste words with these despicable scoundrels, and I don't want to explain anything. But I hope you can believe me!"

Guangbeijia sat on the chief's platform, coldly watching the front, not giving any indication that she noticed Gu. "Gu, with the concrete evidence now, do you have anything else to say? If you can't prove your innocence, the council will strip you of your position as captain and send you to the dungeons!"

Guangbeijia's tone lacked any emotion, icy and cruel, her eyes filled with disappointment and determination. She considered herself a fair and just hero, unwilling to assist Gu based on sentimental feelings for the dead, especially since Gu had been deceiving her for so long! In her subconscious mind, Guangbeijia had already concluded that Gu was behind this. She was thoroughly disappointed in him.

Gu stared at Guangbeijia, eyes filled with tears. Ah, women! This was what women were like! No matter how much he sacrificed for her, no matter how sincerely he treated her, in the end, a loyal dog was left with nothing!

"I have an alibi for last night!" Gu clung to his last hope, looking towards Shen Xudong.

He still had a glimmer of hope!

Last night, he was indeed summoned to the secret chamber by Shen Xudong to discuss how to collaborate with Lü Weijiang and others to suppress Alex. Throughout the night, he had no opportunity to commit the crime.

"Last night, I was constantly discussing matters with Shen Xudong! I didn't leave until after midnight! Speaker Shen can testify for me! Moreover, there is evidence recorded by the cameras at Speaker Shen's house!"

This was Gu's final hope!

After all, he had saved Shen Xudong and his family's lives. Anyone could betray him, but he believed that Shen Xudong would not. Gu looked at Shen Xudong with eager eyes, filled with hope.

However, in the next moment, Shen Xudong gritted his teeth, stood up, and said with a righteous tone, "Captain Gu, you have saved my life, but what you did in this matter is just too much! My conscience won't allow me to lie for you anymore! I'm sorry! Last night, I also had no knowledge of your whereabouts!"

"What?!!!" Gu suddenly stared in disbelief at Shen Xudong!

Shen Xudong, unexpectedly, was speaking the truth with his eyes wide open!

"Why?!! Shen Xudong! Why would you plot against me?!!" Gu looked at Shen Xudong with an incredulous expression, his eyes on the verge of bursting.

"Humph! Gu, do you have anything else to say?!" Lü Weijiang snorted, suddenly stood up, and pointed at Gu, rebuking, "At this point, do you still want to deceive everyone?!"

"Guards! Seize Gu for me! I, as the Speaker of the Parliament, declare an immediate removal of all Gu's positions! Take him to the prison and await judgment!"

With Lü Weijiang's command, Zhang Jingwu, along with several members of the Public Security Management Team, rushed in from the outside, pointing their rifles vigilantly at Gu.

"Who dares?!!!" Gu was completely enraged. At this moment, under immense humiliation and injustice, he erupted. His clothes burst open, muscles bulging like iron, his face twisted into a monstrous expression, resembling a madman!

Everything he experienced today made him completely see through the human heart!

He was utterly despairing of these people before him!

He didn't want to explain anything anymore!

He had nothing to say!

At this moment, he just wanted to kill all these despicable, ungrateful villains before him!

Since you've forced me to become a devil!

Then I'll become a devil to show you!!

Hahaha!!!

Die!! All of you, just die!!
